Chapter 2: The Story of Eagle Cliff Mountain (15)
After leaving the valley bottom. The air was much fresher, and Tsunee was holding a rock in both hands, leaning against the mountain wall and breathing heavily. Among this group of people, Changne's physique is relatively good, but even so, he is still too tired to walk down this mountain road. He turned his head and saw that Chu Tiange, who was following behind him, was a little pale, thinking that the other party had just recovered from a serious injury, and he had not been able to rest well in the past few days, but he was able to follow him step by step, and he had a good impression of him in his heart, so he asked kindly: "Big boss, do you want to rest for a while?" ”
Chu Tiange's situation was as Chang Gen had predicted, it was very difficult, and now he was completely holding it in one breath. This is a bit similar to when he first entered the wolf's tooth to participate in special training, many subjects are repeated practice in the state of extreme fatigue of the human body, again and again, until they pass one fatigue point after another, so that the body can mechanically master those skills. In this case, there must be no idea of taking a break, otherwise once the head is opened, the idea of resting will become entrenched in the mind like an opium addiction, thus making many things give up halfway. The wound was a little painful, the kind of faint pinprick that came from the inside of his lungs, the gun in his mouth had long since been reinserted back into the holster, and his teeth were now just biting stiffly - he didn't dare to speak, only shook his head, and then climbed a stone next to Tsunene with difficulty, and walked up.
Looking at his stubborn figure, Chang Gen's expression was awe-inspiring, he remembered the relevant legend of the "Anti-Japanese Heroes", and then he realized that the other party can have today, it is really not a fluke, and this perseverance alone is far from what ordinary people can have.
"Brothers, follow the great masters! Hold on and you're done! Chang Gen shouted, and climbed up behind Chu Tiange, above, the sound of guns and cannons became louder and louder, and everyone thought of those brothers who resisted bravely under the fire of the little devils, gritted their teeth one by one, endured the pain from the joints of their bodies, and followed Chu Tiange and Chang Gen to climb up.
On Eagle Nose Mountain, a place with a wide field of vision, Wang Zhifu took a telescope to look at the battle situation in front of him. Chu Tiange's face was not small, and when he learned that he was staying on Eagle Cliff Mountain, which was only more than 100 kilometers away from his defensive ground, Major General Wang Zhifu personally led a team to arrest him, regardless of the obstruction of his subordinates. Before going up the mountain, he carefully asked Shui Hongtian about the defense of Eagle Cliff Mountain. The defense of Eagle Cliff Mountain was built by Shui Hongtian, and he naturally knew it very well, so he poured it out without reservation. After asking his staff officers to sort out the data, Wang Zhifu decided to take a brigade of the size to encircle and suppress at his discretion. Among them, there are more than 500 elite Japanese troops directly under his command.
Because he had suffered the losses of Chu Tiange's wolf tooth team members in the "Battle of Zhongma City", Wang Zhifu would carry out this plan with absolute superiority of troops this time. In his mind, now Eagle Cliff Mountain is only more than 300 remnants of the potential, even if Chu Tiange and the others have arrived there, with such a strong force and firepower configuration, he will definitely be able to successfully take Eagle Cliff Mountain and capture Chu Tiange alive! Yes, from the very beginning, what he wanted was to capture Chu Tiange alive!
Although the "Battle of Zhongmacheng" did not appear in the newspapers because of the deliberate blockade by the Japanese, a series of problems caused by it attracted sufficient attention from the military headquarters of the Kwantung Army. Recently, underground anti-Japanese activities in the three northeastern provinces have been extremely active, and in Shenyang, Harbin, and other places, it seems that after a night of spring rain, assassination activities against the Japanese have appeared everywhere, and the perpetrators have all been named as "anti-Japanese heroes" after the fact. This has caused extreme panic among the Japanese diaspora, and many Japanese people are now afraid to go out when it gets dark.
Of course, these assassination activities could not have been carried out by the "anti-Japanese heroes", but the reason for this situation is naturally related to the heavy damage inflicted on the Japanese in the "Battle of Zhongmacheng" of the cadet division. In this situation, the names of Ouyang Yun, Chu Tiange, and Xuebing Division have been ranked before Zhang Zizhong and other diehards of the 29th Army, and have become the most urgent figures for Nanjiro to solve.
If Chu Tiange can be captured alive, it will not only be able to smash the prestige of the "anti-Japanese twin heroes" among the Chinese people and deal a heavy blow to the anti-Japanese forces in the three northeastern provinces, but also bring rich political benefits to the Kwantung Army in Japan.
This is the real reason why Wang Zhifu attaches so much importance to Eagle Cliff Mountain.
In the binoculars, behind a row of rocky bunkers, one or two figures flashed from time to time - clearly saw that those people were not neatly dressed, with various weapons, and in the middle of the bunker there was even a huge caliber earth cannon, but it was obvious that it could only spray iron sand and gravel; The soldiers on the other side, whether they were the puppet army with low combat effectiveness or the elite of the imperial army under their own command, could not break to the front, and Wang Zhifu's face became more and more ugly.
He put down his binoculars, looked at Shui Hongtian, pretended to be careless and said, "Shui Sang, your subordinates are very capable of fighting!" ”
Shui Hongtian also saw that the situation was wrong, and at his suggestion, the Japanese chose to go straight ahead, so as to avoid the complicated traps and traps in other places, but in this way, the Japanese military superiority could not be reflected. As a result, Eagle Cliff Mountain, with its inferior weapons, could effortlessly repel a dozen or twenty or thirty "imperial troops" and white-legged men who rushed towards them. The position of Eagle Nose Mountain in front of Eagle Cliff Mountain, the terrain is a little higher, Shui Hongsleeve (he didn't know at this time that the current boss of Eagle Cliff Mountain is Chu Tiange) must have arranged where the sharpshooter was arranged, when the Japanese machine gunner entered the position, a bullet flew on the opposite side, and the machine gunner was killed immediately. Now, the Japanese did not dare to line up the machine guns too far forward, but in this way, the soldiers in front blocked the view of the machine gunners, and they could not suppress the fire.
The reason why Shui Hongtian chose Eagle Cliff Mountain to fall into the grass was precisely because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now that Eagle Cliff Mountain has changed hands and he has become the attacking party, he regrets that he chose such a place to settle down. A layer of fine sweat appeared on his head, and he looked at Wang Naoo with an iron-blue face with some fear, just afraid that the other party would spill his anger on him.
Wang Zhifu frowned, and quickly calculated in his heart using the military knowledge he had learned: The people on the opposite side are very cunning, and they have obviously seen battles, and the only thing that has the lethality to them is mortars, but there is a process of shell flight, and the sound is obvious, the shells on the other side are only discharged, and the people on the side are already lying on their stomachs in the bunker. Mortars are too powerful to break through the bunkers that have been built on boulders, and now it seems that the only way to do this is to use mountain artillery to destroy their fortifications first. At the same time, maybe a strange soldier should be arranged to touch it from other places, although Shui Hongtian said that there was only this smooth road to Eagle Cliff Mountain, but from the flickering eyes of the other party, he always felt that the other party was not telling the truth......
Because it is not easy to carry out artillery on the mountain road, the mountain artillery was left at the foot of Eagle Nose Mountain, Wang Zhifu first Wang Zhengqiang took the puppet army to get the cannon up, and then asked Shui Hongtian: "Shui Sang!" Is there really the only way to reach Eagle Cliff Mountain from here? ”
The reason why Shui Hongtian's eyes flickered was indeed because there was a ghost in his heart, but this ghost was not because there was a secret road hidden in his heart, but because he thought of a terrible consequence and was a little timid - if the Japanese couldn't beat Eagle Cliff Mountain, they would definitely be angry with him, and at that time, who would save him?!
"There's really only one way, and everywhere else is traps and traps...... "He replied, wiping a sweat.
Wang Zhifu snorted, and quietly turned to Zhao Xiaoshan, who had been silent: "Zhao Sang, is this the case?" ”
Zhao Xiaoshan thought for a while and said, "There is still a road, but it is very dangerous. ”
"Is it the bushes next to the main road?"
"No, there are so many local agencies and traps that we can't remember what we set up in the first place. I'm talking about the Valley of Broken Intestines," Zhao Xiaoshan said, pointing to the place where the mist lingered under the mountain, "The Valley of Broken Intestines connects Eagle Nose Mountain and Eagle Cliff Mountain, but there are ghosts and monsters in it, so it's best not to go through it." ”
Wang Nao looked at the valley that was surrounded by mist not far away, his face looked a little better, and asked, "You must have walked through?" ”
Shui Hongtian and Zhao Xiaoshan were shocked, Shui Hongtian secretly glanced at Zhao Xiaoshan, hating him for causing trouble with his mouth.
Wang Zhifu pretended not to understand the faces of the two, stepped forward and patted them on the shoulders respectively and said: "You have an old saying in China, wealth is sought in danger, and I think that marching and fighting are the same, and winning the war is also in danger. Since the Valley of Broken Gut is so dangerous, I don't think the people on the other side of the country will have any idea that we can attack from there. Don't worry, no matter what ghosts and monsters there are in the Valley of Broken Intestines, I will let the most elite Imperial soldiers under my command accompany you, and they will definitely be able to see ghosts and kill monsters under the care of our Amaterasu. ”
Shui Hongtian's face turned pale, and he was speechless for a long time; Zhao Xiaoshan was very honorable, he said: "Since the general's subordinates are not afraid, then I will go and accompany them on a trip!" ”
Wang Zhifu nodded, glanced at Zhao Xiaoshan with appreciative eyes, and then asked the staff officer Kei Jiyuan Lang to select people.
Soon, twenty-three Japanese soldiers were selected, led by a captain named Aramura Takusai, counting Shui Hongtian, Zhao Xiaoshan and their thirteen subordinates, a group of thirty-eight people, all with short guns and grenades, Zhao Xiaoshan and Shui Hongtian made a few simple torches, and then began to look for a suitable place to go down to the valley nearby. The Japanese soldiers were more disciplined, and they had not heard of the horrors of the Valley of Broken Intestines, so they treated them as ordinary combat missions and did not show the slightest uneasiness. Only bitter Shui Hongtian and his group of subordinates, they all knew that the Broken Intestine Valley was powerful, so when they heard that they were going to go down to the valley, their legs trembled involuntarily, and they knew that this errand was caused by Zhao Xiaoshan himself, and they looked at him behind him one by one, wishing that they could burn two holes in his back with their eyes.
